This article discusses about way of understanding and way of thinking college students between gender in solve math problems. A way of understanding is a cognitive product of a mental act perform by someone, and way of thinking is a cognitive characteristic of a mental act. The mental act is obtained by observing their statements and actions. Open interviews conducted by researchers after watching the learning video and check the college student works. This research uses phenomenographic approach. Rusdi and Ira are prospective elementary teachers who have equal ability of between gender in solving four problems related to the linear equation of two variables. The results of this study revealed that female college students tend to relate previous concepts to problems on the subject, solution representation more than one way, and way of thinking appear are to use empirical solutions and tend to follow frequently used patterns. While the male college students answered practically, that is using the clue of the question to obtain a solution, and way of thinking appear are to as non refential symbolic. This implies that way of understanding college students depends on heavily on the characteristics of their way of thinking.
